Wow, where do I start? You guys helped make this one of the most memorable burns I've been to. First off I would like to thank Bittersweet for doing a spectacular job with the gate at such short notice. Mad Hatter for being my Lead Ranger and helping keep us all safe for the killer burn last night. Of course the pair of them and the refreshment that was another installment of Kokopelli's Coffee. I dunno what I would have done without you guys this morning. Next I would like to thank my effigy crew, Scooba Steve and Joe. You guys blew me out of the water with your design, construction and most of all the effort that you put in to making such an awesome effigy. For you folks that weren't there, I'm sure you'll see pictures, but they will do it no justice to the awesomeness that was Bob. To the Louisville crew, thanks for making the haul and providing us with a sweet sound camp. You guys were so much fun. Wessex, the hookah, enough said. Stryd'r and the mead, I can't believe how amazing pineapple mead can be, no matter how long it takes to kill it. To all of the new Columbia Burners I met this weekend, we have got to plan some meet ups with everyone. To Gaius and his camp of amazingness, wow. 100 year old wine, single malt scotch, amazing cous cous, the list goes on. Oh, and we can't forget the pumpkin pie hookah on friday night, courtesy of both Gaius and Katie. To OA for having such an amazing and safe place for us to burn. To Strawberry for coming out, It's been way to long but I'm so glad you made it. To everyone for making this such an amazing burn, and not being MOOPy peoples. I can't wait for next year. I think it was a good indication when I walk in the door and the wife says 'you stink, take a shower and then we'll talk' that we had an amazing time. I know there were a lot of cameras running around and video as well. Please feel free to post your stuff and let us know. I can't wait to see it all. Lastly, to Mother Nature, Thank you for letting us have at least my first burn and a lot of other peoples first burn at OA with no precipitation and amazing stars everynight. I hope everyone makes it home safely and has a great teim until our next burns coming up. You guys are all amazing. Much love to everyone and happy Burning until we meet again..........
